I am here to support you through life’s challenges with gentleness, curiosity and a road map to change and self-awareness. I am flexible with the route we take, as the direction and pace is set by you.

​

I will offer suggestions and invite you to explore different options and ways of thinking, feeling, seeing and being. Together creating a clearer path forward, a quiet place to sit and process, a space for activity and action, or whatever else you need at any point in time.

​

With couples counselling, I direct the road map more, with each of you sharing the driving. My main role is to facilitate a deeper understanding, healing and connection between the two of you.

​

More information on the modalities and what to expect from my style of counselling can be found on the adult counselling, teenager counselling and couples counselling pages.
